Rosberg wins Spanish one formula Grand Prix

The 29-year-old German, Rosberg, wins Spanish one formula Grand Prix.  It was his first win since last November’s Brazilian Grand Prix and the ninth of his career.He defended champion Lewis Hamilton’s  from 27 points to 20.

Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel of Germany, came home third for Ferrari ahead of Finns Valtteri Bottas of Williams and Kimi Raikkonen, in the second Ferrari. Brazilian Felipe Massa was sixth in the second Williams ahead of Australian Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull and Frenchman Romain Grosjean of Lotus. Carlos Sainz won a late wheel-to-wheel battle with his Toro Rosso team-mate, Dutch teenager Jos Verstappen, to take 10th and then ‘stole’ ninth from Russian Daniil Kvyat in the second Red Bull. Kvyat finished 10th.

In another dramatic pit-lane incident Grosjean also over-shot his pit-stop and sent a mechanic, clinging to the front jack, flying. He was, fortunately, reported not seriously injured. Bottas was fourth with Raikkonen, in the second Ferrari, making the biggest gain by jumping to fifth from seventh.

Rosberg revelled  off fastest laps to open up a 6.6 seconds lead over Vettel by lap 10 with Hamilton a further 1.1 seconds further adrift. Bottas, fourth, was 4.2 seconds behind Hamilton who reported to his race engineer that “it is impossible to get close” to Vettel in his bid to recover.
